We continue our exciting year with a wonderful opportunity to explore Tango musicality with Revenge Tango and Sebastian Arrua!
Over the weekend of 23 & 24 May, we will be holding an intensive musicality training in Wellington.
The weekend workshops will be complemented by a Milonga on Friday night (with live music), and a concert on Saturday night. It will be a full weekend of Tango immersion.
As many of you know, we are deeply committed to sharing authentic tango experiences and world-class expressions of this art form with our community here in New Zealand — and we are truly excited to share this one with you.
Make sure to follow our Facebook page for more information.
Revenge Tango is a duo of musicians, Adolfo Trepiana on bandoneón and Luciano Steffanoli on piano, both hailing from Argentina. This versatile group has captivated audiences worldwide — from the passionate embrace of tango dancers at milongas to intimate house concerts, jazz clubs, and major venues, including the Sydney Opera House — offering a powerful blend of sophistication, energy, and heartfelt emotion.
We are excited to be bringing Revenge Tango to New Zealand in May 2026.
